Truthfully? It's a just matter of economics for the TV industry along with the technological advances having been made over the years. Sometimes, you gotta just upgrade.

Digital Cable Brings The Future?

Although many of us have enjoyed analog cable for years, digital cable comes with so many additional features you'll be hard-pressed to ever go back once you've made the switch. Digital cable brings with it the benefits of many, many years of technology, innovation and design. New features like on-demand programming would have been impossible years ago, and aren't available over analog. Another new, and now must-have, feature is the digital channel guide. The ability to see what programs are on other channels right now and several days in the future, all while getting descriptions and information, has rendered old standbys like printed television guides and directory channels almost obsolete.

Do you have to buy an HDTV TV or will the cable companies be supplying conversion boxes for older TVs?

If you have cable, you will not need a conversion box. The analog-to-digital transition in the US in 2009 only affects over-the-air broadcasts. Cable operators will continue to provide analog service for years to come.


Will you still be able to use your non digital television once the switch over?

Yes you will. The digital switch over that is progressing in many countries is supported by the promotion of digital set top boxes. They are available at a minimal cost ($25 in the US or £20 in the UK for example). The set top box receives the digital transmissions and converts the signal to analog video and audio signals to be fed into an analog television. With a very few exceptions, analog televisions will not handle HD channels but they should be quite capable of receiving all SD channels. Similarly, most satellite and cable boxes have SD analog outputs so analog televisions will work with most broadcast platforms.


When is analog signaling going to be turned off?

Analog signals of US television programming will end February 19, 2009. The formatting will change to digital, which will require a cable box to decode the programming.


If after the digital transition shouldn't ALL tv channels be HD then why do cable and satellite charge more for HD?

I'll address the first of these two questions: Post-transition all US over-the-air broadcasts are digital. That refers to the modulation technique used to place a signal on a carrier wave. High Definition refers to the picture resolution, as does Standard Definition. A High Definition broadcast will always be digital, but a digital broadcast will not always be High Definition. A DVD will deliver a digital picture in SD. A Blu-Ray DVD delivers a digital picture in HD. The same concept applies to broadcasters. The FCC requires digital broadcasts, but does not require that they be HD. The cable provider I use does not charge for HD channels.
